BioDr. Robert Erlandson’s research interests include the study of low-frequency electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves, wave-particle interactions, field-aligned currents, and space weather applications. He has developed a number of new optical sensing instruments, one of which uses magneto-optical filter (MOF) technology and another that involves the development of low-cost sensing approaches for terrestrial weather applications.
